Year-Round Comfort:
Stay warm and cozy in the winter with in-floor heating and a heat pump/AC system, ensuring a comfortable experience regardless of the season.

Peaceful and Private Retreat:
Tucked away in a serene location, our cottage offers a peaceful and private escape. Yet, it’s conveniently located just 25 minutes from the city of Fredericton, 20 minutes from the charming town of Nackawic, and 30 minutes from the Crabbe Mountain.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a peaceful weekend with friends, Bear Island Cottage has got you covered.

(Note about Hot Tub: Due to low usage and the high maintenance required, we’ve made the decision to remove the hot tub from our offerings. For reservations with arrival dates after September 1st, the hot tub will no longer be available as an amenity. You may still see it mentioned in some past reviews — just wanted to flag that it’s no longer part of the experience. Thanks so much for your understanding, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions )

The cabin had all the amenities we could ask for and the location and grounds are spectacular. We can't think of a single thing that was missing. Can't wait to go again in different seasons.
